Does washing dishes in the cold seem like punishment? With these 4 desi ‘Jugaad’ the work will be done in minutes, even your hands will not get cold
News India Live, Digital Desk: Believe me, you are not alone. In the harsh cold of December-January, coming out of the quilt and touching cold water seems no less than a punishment. On top of that, if there is too much oil and spices in the food, then that grease accumulates on the utensils as if Fevicol has been applied. Keep rubbing, but the lubrication does not go away and the hands become numb separately. But don’t worry, today we have brought some ‘smart methods’ for you, by adopting which you can easily deal with this problem. 1. Rubber Gloves: Your Best FriendIf till now you considered gloves as ‘unnecessary expense’, then change your thinking. Thick rubber gloves available in the market are no less than a boon in winter. Benefit: They not only protect your hands from cold water, but also do not burn your hands when using hot water. Tip: Use gloves with good grip so that the soapy utensils do not slip from the hands. This will also keep your hands soft.2. The magic of ‘Soak’ in hot water: In winter, ghee and oil get deposited on the utensils, which is impossible to remove with cold water. Be smart instead of working hard. Method: Close the drain of the sink or take very hot water in a big tub. Add some dish wash liquid and submerge all the dirty utensils in it for 10-15 minutes. Result: The hot water will melt the accumulated grease. All you have to do is gently rotate the scrub and the dishes are clean! The hard work will be halved.3. Using Ash, Vinegar or Baking SodaSometimes soap doesn’t remove stubborn stains or burnt food smells. In such a situation, grandmother’s remedies come in handy. Vinegar and baking soda: If there is burnt food stuck on the pan or pan, then add some baking soda and vinegar and leave it. This chemical reaction cuts away the grime. Wood ash: If available, it is still the best scrubber for burnt utensils. It absorbs grease.4. Don’t let the utensils pile up (Wash as you go) In the cold we often think, “Let’s wash together later.” This is the only mistake that happens. When the utensils pile up, the work becomes overwhelming and standing in the sink gets frozen. Hacks: As soon as a spoon or bowl gets dirty while cooking, wash it immediately. Wash the plate immediately after eating food. This will not create a workload and the lubricant will not get a chance to dry. Our suggestion: Friends, it is most important to take care of your health. Prolonged exposure to cold water can cause pain in hands and joints. Therefore, adopt these small changes and make your life easier.
